[SENco-forum] exclusions and statements

A Statemented child is no different from anyone else and same rules

Hear,  Hear!  Some children,  with a statement for emotional or  
behavioural difficulties benefit hugely from the more relaxed  
atmosphere and higher pupil-teacher ratio of a PRU.  Moving on to a  
special school can bring security,  expert teaching and achievement  
to children who have experienced none of these.  For those who think  
concern for pupils is limited to maionstream try looking up the  
Ofsted report for Gloucestershire Reintegration Service. (I work for  
them but I wasn't seen so can take no individual credit!)  Jill
